Try to position the lane to set up ganks for your jungler. As you level up, your waveclear will become sufficient to neutralize the lane entirely.

Orianna	Not Favored	600	51%	+29	+147	This is an extremely challenging lane where you'll need assistance from your jungler and support to succeed. Concentrate on using your auto-attacks to gain control of the minion wave, which will limit her opportunities to harass you. As the game progresses, your waveclear will improve to the point where you can neutralize the matchup.

Yasuo	Very Hard	553	50%	-155	-491	Yasuo is a strong laner but is also very susceptible to ganks. Avoid pushing the wave and try to keep it on your side of the lane. You should generally avoid direct 1v1 confrontations. Your strength in this matchup lies in your superior performance in teamfights.

Katarina	Not Favored	519	46%	-289	-1,034	Katarina can snowball very easily, so you must play this lane cautiously. Do not step on her daggers and always hold your Charm as a defensive tool. After level 6, your priority is to keep the wave pushed to her turret to deny her opportunities to roam.

Mel	Very Hard	512	51%	-661	-1,552	This matchup is manageable as long as you avoid using your Charm on her. Use your W to dodge her Q missiles or her E. Later in the game, you can punish her poor waveclear with your own Q spam.

Akali	Easy	446	51%	+43	-54	You really need to build a large lead pre-6 and do not let her scale for free. Take Aery and put extreme pressure on Akali every time she last hits a minion with auto W. If you think Akali is about to Q you back, cancel your auto and move back, you cannot lane pre-6 if you bait out her Q's like this. When Akali shrouds back off but be agro when its on CD. When Akali uses E, remember you'll always be able to land your charm on her recast before she gets E2 off. Post 6, expect Akali to do R > E1 when she fights instantly so you'll want to R away and dodge the E.
